I wouldn't be too despondent Wilks,I've not been in the best of form of late.
Not feeling at all confident in my pursuit of Buxton and achieving the league and double.
In fact I have almost given up hope,the title is Buxton's.

Sort of but if those answers stand I'm in real trouble, even with 6 guesses they'd be wrong. Busy decorating and wife won't let me take a break to do STB with the length of time it takes.

Gonna have to take the laptop to the loo (replaced the newspaper) later and post my proper guesses.

When it comes to crosswords and sudoku I do some of my best work sat on the loo. Will be ineteresting to see if it's helped me with STB although I'm not too confident with my choices this week.

Oh well 2 near misses. Seems my best work for STB isn't done on the loo.

Ralph, would it be possible to show scoring squares for each image so we can check our points each week. I would find it interesting and I think others would as well.

This may have been my most productive week ever. I'm sure I put all my guesses around D6 ish.

Looking forward to see if I've gained any extra points or places.

I can do that but... after tea ;)

Just about to upload the Division 1 table. You are right about your selections Firthy.... you may have scored high for the balloons but NOT the ball ;)

A good week there MACCA and you're sitting top of Division 2. A good push could see you into Division 1 next week :)

So I scored then?

I don't want to push these young lads too much.

We are learning as we go, but it's one game at a time.

We'll enjoy tonight, but come Monday we will be back on the training ground looking forward to the next one hoping for a similar display.

Scoring images from yesterday. I hope these DO NOT cause me and Spot any problems ;)

Add an extra Close Shave ring around images 1, 3 and 4 because there were NO Direct Hits !

Hope this helps
